2016-2017 Undergraduate Bulletin

Registration and Major Holds


All sophomores who have a declared English major and who have earned between 45-60 credits will have a hold placed on their registration record so that they can be advised by a professor in the English Major before enrolling in future courses. 

Students must see an advisor in the major in order to have the registration hold removed. This is an important time for students to be sure they are on the right track, to express concerns, and to learn about special opportunities in the major. 

In the month before Registration begins, the English Major Advisor will send emails to those students with registration holds, inviting them to sign up for 30-minute appointments with any one of the available professors.  Advising of students with holds will continue until the beginning of the next semester, but we strongly urge students to meet with an English professor in the weeks leading up to Registration to ensure enrollment in required courses.
